Key Ingredients
Brussels Sprouts – Be sure to use fresh Brussels sprouts for this recipe, frozen won’t work here. To prepare your sprouts, start by trimming off the stem and giving them a good rinse. Then remove any leaves that appear yellow, or like they’ve gone bad. Once you’ve done that, you’re ready to use them in this recipe! Balsamic Vinegar – Balsamic vinegar is rich, slightly sweet, and takes these grilled Brussels sprouts to the next level! The intense flavor of this vinegar adds incredible depth of flavor to this hearty vegetable. Honey – While optional, I highly recommend finishing off this side dish with a drizzle of honey! A little bit of sweetness balances out the deep savory and tangy flavors of this recipe. If you’re looking to make this vegan or don’t have any honey, maple syrup will work as well!
